106. The decision by one of the nation's largest banks to admit to $3 billion in potential losses on foreign loans
could mean less lending by commercial banks to developing countries and increasing the pressure on
multigovernment lenders to supply the funds.
(A) increasing the pressure
(B) the increasing pressure
(C) increased pressure
(D) the pressure increased
(E) the pressure increasing



Although I got the correct answer C, it was because that was what sounded right to my ear. Someone give me a more logical explanation as I am not convinced with the OG's explanation

Increasing pressure -> Increasing is an adjective modify to pressure
Increasing the pressure -> become participial phrase because adjective cannot precede a/an/the.

could mean - past tense.

lending is a gerund hence we dont have to maintain parallelism.
increased is the past participle here hence C.

let me know if i am wrong.
